INDIANAPOLIS — Blake Bortles has the frame and potentially the arm.

But while most scouts believe Teddy Bridgewater and Johnny Manziel have the potential to be Week 1 starting quarterbacks this season, Bortles could be an NFL work in progress.

Asked Friday if he’s aware of the path that might await him once he becomes a pro, the Central Florida QB was honest about his future.

“I have no problem with that. There’s no doubt I need coaching, I need help. I think everybody in the game does,” said Bortles, who’ll throw at the NFL draft scouting combine, unlike Manziel and Fresno State’s Derek Carr. “There’s reasons why all these greats out there are continuing to play and continuing to work in the offseason and get coached. One hundred percent, I need coaching, I need help and I’m going to work my butt off to do everything I can to be the best that I can be to help a team be the best that they can be.”
